Playa Rincón
Playa Rincón is the classic, postcard-perfect tropical white-sand beach, undeveloped and secluded. The shore is lapped by beautiful turquoise waves. Huge palm trees give shade and line the beach. A protected cove on one end provides a consistently tranquil bay for swimming, while beautiful green mountains rise up from the water's other shore. The only structures in the area are a tiny restaurant at one end of the beach and a few of stands near the parking lot, which serve lunch and snacks.
Playa Rincon is located on the Samana Peninsula and can be reached by a 30-minute boat ride or a 30-minute drive from the town of Las Galeras. Almost the entire way, the road is paved and in good shape, however near the beach, it is dirt and potholed but usable in a typical vehicle. If you need a boat, simply walk down to the waterfront in Las Galeras, where the main road into town dead-ends at the sea, and someone will be happy to assist you. The boats leave from just here on the beach.
Most hotels will gladly assist you in planning a trip to Playa Rincón. If you want to make a day of it, stop by the Boca del Diablo (Devil's Mouth) blow hole on the way back. A 15-minute detour along a difficult dirt road is required.
